When I was a kid growing up in a rural area, anyone who stayed after graduating high school was called a skid. They always worked the shit jobs like convenience store because the local forestry place was still employing their dads and grandads so they still had full employment. The skids always came from rougher families and, yeah, they were totally hopeless and didnt think they had a better future and no means of escaping.

We are all skids now. All power to the skids.
